CB400F2 Tank Decal positioning

[Lobo]

Hi all,
Can anyone advise me whether the positioning of the 'HONDA' decal is the same for both the F/F1 & F2 models?
Cheers,
Lobo

No idea but just wondering where you got the technical sketches from showing position, as I will have this task ...... eventually!!??

Hiya Tim,

Basically off a great "Cb400F Restoration Project" blog on the Internet throughout 2011/12.  An English project - and sad,y I can't remember the guy's name.

The guy's name is Graham Hugill, the site was an excellent one and a resource for anyone who owns a 400f. Sadly the web site no longer exists

Yes, very good and useful site. Unfortunate that it is no longer accessible. I think it is that it's format was no longer supported rather than that it was taken off the net. The bike that was the subject of the restoration was in Practical Sports Bikes - early last year if I remember correctly.

... can anybody out there with an F2 just nip ot to the garage & confirm basic measurements Please!  (I'm beginning to suspect the measurements way out for the F2)

Don't need to the mm, just a "yup, that fits with the F2" will do.

Don't want to end up with something that looks a bit 'odd', as this job does..
